I dunno what good employers pay, but my old boss was a skinflint used to give me 20k a year for being a software programmer, but i quit due to the stress, and the way they treated me

thats decent in here , here we made 1400-1800$ for software developers

and many even start at 800$ monthly.

engineers got 1800-4000$+

 

about how they treat you, yeah, software people are always pulled down, because they think programing it's "easy"

well it is, for people that like it.

yeah but i was the best programmer there the rest of the staff only got 14k a year, people hated me for that, and made my life a misery as a result

it is sad, programming is hard, does anyone have any advice to get my enthusiasm back, i used to love computing and programming once, it's nearly been a year since i left my old job, but yet i still feel so down

Damn 14K really? Its lower than the minimum salary in Canada. Do you have a minimum salary where you live? how much is it? Maybe you can move somewhere youll be able to have good condition. Or you can take your time finding another job that will offer better condition. Select a place, and stalk them, give them your CV each month lol. If you still feel down after a year maybe you can see a psychologist too, it could help. Anyway, feel free to talk with me in PM anytime.
